Mother of the saviour how accepting and how true
Was the faith that you put into action .

Mother of the saviour how peaceful and how free
You must have been in daily prayerful reflection

Mother of the saviour how beautiful and how great
It must have been to tell everyone .

Mother of the saviour how proud and how blessed
Were you to have seen the birth of Jesus your son

Mother of the saviour how happy and how busy
It must have been in your family home .

Mother of the saviour how lucky and how great
To sit and discuss things with him all alone .

Mother of the saviour how gifted and how unique
To see him grow and to know him so well .

Mother of the saviour how awesome and how true
Were the stories that you were able to tell .

Mother of the saviour how gracious and how kind
To surrender it all to God’ in the end .

Mother of the saviour how cruel and how unfair
To be judged for something you cannot defend .

Mother of the saviour how brave and how strong
were you as they gripped the whip and punished him so .

Mother of the saviour how sad and how hurtful
It must have been when his blood began to flow .

Mother of the saviour how humble and how forgiving
Were you when you heard them mock him so .
.
Mother of the saviour how agonising and how tragic
to see your son nailed to the cross .

Mother of the saviour how miraculous ,
how glorious , to see him rise victorious .
